No - if you follow the link you'll see that the setup includes a
slider that prevents both breakers from being on at the same time.
Quite clever really and way cheaper than a transfer switch -
especiall the ones that force you to designate which breakers can be
fed by the genset.


Yeah, but it ain't $150.00 clever.

I made my own from a flat piece of plexiglass.
